Colección Jumex: Everything Gets Lighter
Lisa Phillips
Contextualising the exhibition, this catalog explores the healing power of light and lightness as an antidote to the heaviness that surrounds us today through more than 60 works from Colección Jumex. The artists in the show have given us plenty to ponder, from experiments in pure light to meditations on reflection, shadows, and luminosity; to light phenomenon in weather; to explorations of weightlessness, flight, airiness, and immateriality. Light and lightness are also powerful elemental forces of spiritual transcendence, clarity, renewal, and rebirth.
